Austin H. and Frankie A. Dwight Summer House

The Austin H. and Frankie A. Dwight Summer House, also known as the Bay Pointe Restaurant, was a building constructed as a private summer home, located on Gun Lake at 11456 Marsh Road in Shelbyville, Michigan. It was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1982 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. The building was later used as a restaurant, and was demolished in 2004. History In 1885, Charles and Elizabeth Morrell bought property on Gun Lake previously used for farming. They turned it into a resort, which they eventually sold to Edmund Noble. In 1899, Noble sold the property to Austin H. Dwight and his wife Frankie. Austin Dwight was a Chicago businessman who became a leading paper manufacturer in Kalamazoo. Between 1901 and 1902, the Dwights constructed this summer home on the property. The Dwights normally lived in this house for six months out of the year until their deaths in 1924 (Frankie) and 1926 (Austin). After their deaths, the house remained vacant for years, until 1978, when Roy and Jackie Martin purchased house and surrounding property and renovated the structure. In 1983, the Martins opened the Bay Pointe Restaurant in the Dwight Summer House. The property changed ownership, and in 2004 the structure was demolished and a new Bay Pointe Inn erected at the site. Description The Dwight summer residence was a 2+1⁄2-story wood frame Colonial Revival structure with a mix of gambrel and hip roof sections. It was clad with cobblestones on the first floor with wooden shingling above. It had a massive fieldstone chimney, a large bay window, and an enclosed porch. The house was significant both for its architecture and or the use of advanced engineering techniques, where timber trusses with iron tie rods were used to house a large public space in the first floor.

It was founded in 1922 and has been in Beulah since 1935.

The cherry pie is served a la mode, with ice cream, or without. In 2003, the Cherry Hut was using 3,000 pounds of tart cherries per week to make up to 500 pies. Cherry Jerry the "Cheery Cherry Pie-Faced Boy" is the Cherry Hut's mascot and is on a sign north of Beulah. Each pie used to be incised with Cherry Jerry's image.

Daniel Striker House

The Daniel Striker House is a private house located at 321 South Jefferson Street in Hastings, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. History Daniel Striker was born in 1835 in Rose, New York, to Gilbert and Rebecca Striker. Not long after his birth, his family moved to Jackson County, Michigan, where they lived until Daniel was a teenager. In 1851, the family purchased a large tract of land in Barry County's Baltimore Township, and moved once again. Daniel Striker attended schools in Hastings and what is now Spring Arbor University, then began teaching school. In 1855, he moved on to work as a clerk at a local firm, and in 1860 was elected as clerk of Barry County. In 1862, he married Sarah E. Fancher; the couple had one daughter, Rebekah, and adopted a son. Striker served as Clerk or Deputy Clerk of the county until 1870, when he was elected as Michigan Secretary of State, a position he held for four years. Afterward, Striker was several times elected as Barry County Supervisor or Assessor; he spent much of his time in financial dealings, acting as an officer or director of several banks. Daniel Striker constructed this house in the 1880s; it was contemporaneously called "the handsomest residence in Hastings." He lived there until his death in 1898. Striker's wife Sarah lived in the house until her death in 1915. After that, the house was used as the second home for Hastings' first hospital, then known as Good Samaritan. In the 1960s, it was converted into apartments and became a convalescent home. It was later refurbished into a single-family home. Description The Striker House is a 2+1⁄2-story Queen Anne structure, measuring 42 feet (13 m) by 60 feet (18 m). It sits on an ashlar foundation and is covered with clap board siding. The house is elaborate in design, and features numerous gables, bays, dormers, as well as a distinctive octagonal tower in one corner. The window pattern is irregular, including some stained glass windows.

M-72–Au Sable River Bridge

The M-72–Au Sable River Bridge, also known as the Grayling Bridge or State Street Bridge, is a bridge located on M-72 over the Au Sable River in Grayling, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. History The village of Grayling was first platted along the Au Sable River in 1874. Soon after, a bridge was built at this location to facilitate travel across the river. However, the population of Grayling increased significantly in the early 1900s, and the state designated the route through Grayling as a state trunkline, both of which increased traffic over the existing bridge. In 1922, Grayling replaced the bridge with a sturdier version. However, increasingly heavy vehicular traffic used the bridge, and it was soon deemed inadequate. In 1933, the State Highway Department designed this replacement structure. The bridge was built by contractor F. C. Atletwed at a cost of $13,700 and opened in 1935, and has continued to serve M-72 traffic in nearly unaltered condition. Description The Grayling Bridge is a 40-foot-long (12 m), 52-foot-wide (16 m) rigid-frame steel stringer structure, with the superstructure securely connected to the abutments using of the arched brackets. Nine rolled I-beams carrying the concrete roadway and sidewalks to each side. Ornamental steel guardrails, now supplemented with Armco guardrails, line the exterior. The bridge is significant as perhaps the earliest rigid-frame bridge built by the Michigan State Highway Department, and is the only example of a steel (as opposed to concrete) rigid-frame bridge in Michigan.

Northview High School (Michigan)

Northview High School is located in Plainfield Township, Kent County, Michigan, a Northeastern suburb of Grand Rapids, Michigan. It was a National Blue Ribbon school in 2001. The high school is one of the two high schools in the Northview Public Schools system. History The Northview Public School District was born in the late 1950s. As the population of greater Grand Rapids swelled, the need for a high school became clear, and in an effort to pool the financial resources needed to build a high school, several small rural school districts merged with the Oakview Public School District to form Northview Public Schools. In 1959, construction began on the building, and in 1962, Northview High School opened its doors to its first students. In 2011 and 2012, two tax proposals gave over 43.5 million dollars towards renovating the high school campus, as well as the athletic facilities. In the early fall of 2014, the construction was completed. Athletics The Northview Wildcats are in the Ottawa-Kent Conference White Division.
